Sentient Watch's Adventures

Disclaimer: I do not in anyway shape or form own Ben 10 nor am I associated with those that do, because if I was I would be a millionaire.

Responses to questions or statements:

-ultima-owner: Pretty much. Tech problems? Call Upgrade, Grey Matter or Azmuth.

-NewGuest123: Essentially, yeah.

-Pretty much. All he's thinking is that the bot was down and that there was no need to send a force. Personally, I always found it weird in the series how no one ever really acknowledges that aliens exist. I mean, if proof that aliens were revealed now I and others would probably be like "eh whatever", 'cause it seems like we live through a historical event every couple of weeks. But back then, it would be a pretty big deal. And plus, the government might be bloated, inefficient, and even incompetent, but they would for sure rush to get that extraterrestrial tech.

-Glasses Writer: I was trying to show the differences in mindset between the two. With Omni being someone who prioritizes efficiency and tactical prowess over brute force like Ben in the earlier episodes.

-Guest0508: Yeah, pretty much. No disrespect to actual plumbers though. They do hard, necessary, messy, and sometimes unthankful tasks that allow us to live in our daily lives. But naming your law enforcement group that. That's just lame.

-Thanks! Glad you liked how I had the MC deal with the problem.

-Yeah, she's doing it for the lols.

-TK0421: Yeah, because she's a computer now, she's going to compute the most efficient and logical course of action in these situations. The trio may overrule her at times, but they will listen as she can as said earlier, "compute a thousand ways to handle a situation in the time it takes for you to form a single thought".

-Glad you like the banter! Tried to use that scene to show the differences in mindset between the two.

-Yeah, like I said to NewGuest123, even if the feds were aware of aliens for decades. They would still have to put up a show for the first publicize alien encounter to at least save face. Ben being a kid didn't grasp that and only thought of the bot being destroyed with the National Guard deployment being unnecessary. At the very least, the feds would have to address it. I just found it kind of weird how every just kind of brushes aside the fact that aliens are real.

-Mr. E Guest: Yup. Being a highly advanced supercomputer and knowing future events helps you to plan things out. I did think of having her possess the bot's body, but decided against it as it was too high profile and she wanted to stay on the down low. The government making assumptions thing is a given since no one but a few knew exactly what happened.

-Hoodedgenius98: She has access to all of them. But right now, Ben only can access the original ten.

-robinmlangeni6 Glad to hear that. Hope you like this chapter.

-DBXfan45: No problem. Hope you enjoy this update.

-Lucas Oliveira: TBH, I don't know. I haven't thought that far ahead yet. But still that is funny to think about.

-Omni: You put me in a shoebox for all those years!

-Ben: What's the big deal?

-Omni: It's a freaking indignity! I'm the most powerful device in the universe! I should have been put in a display case or mounted on a wall or something!

-Chronosign: Bro... she may be a bit of a troll and one could even call her mean at times. But she ain't sadistic.

-ArashiNokitsune: Yup, pretty much.

-So-Long-A-Bowser: Thanks, man!

-TOPCAT-59: She can control Ben even when he's not transformed. Shown when she slapped him and Gwen for annoying her.

Also FYI, whenever the main character speaks only inside Ben's brain will be bold from this point on. So, if it's bold, what she's saying can only be heard by Ben.

Now, without further ado, onto the story!

Chapter 6: Washington B.C

While the Tennyson trio were off having their road trip in the physical world, the omnitrix was spending her time in the digital plane as she moved at lightspeed through the internet.

The group had arrived in Washington D.C the previous day, with last night Ben stopped a robbery as Heatblast and rescued the tenants of a burning building and fouled the robbery of the thieves that were using it as cover. With the ten year old being frustrated at not getting the recognition he believed he deserved.

The building was now swarming with journalists and news groups, much like the site of the battle from where they fought the Mechadroid. State and capital police cordoned off the area with investigators and detectives swarming the scene for any sign where the alien had went.

Alien conspiracy groups worldwide were theorizing where these aliens were coming from, with news sites making their theories on the situation. Though, thankfully they weren't able to figure out that the two alien appearances where the same ten year old boy. Which meant that Omni didn't have to spend too much time watching the news as she always hated news corporations and journalists. Though, she did enjoy her time interacting with the conspiracy groups. They were rather fun to talk to and were actually pretty smart despite what people usually believed.

The white house press secretary had issued a statement earlier today. With her saying that the government had no idea had these aliens had arrived in the country and why they were helping people. They had also issued an APB to all federal and local law enforcement agencies to be on the lookout for alien sightings. With the feds still trying to delegate the task of investigating and searching for extraterrestrials in the country. With DHS and the FBI being the top two contenders for this tasks with the military also being considered.

Aside from looking into that that, she was helping out where she could like the good Christian girl she was. Like making sure that the new U.S Army uniforms transitioned to multicam instead of the trash UCP camo and making sure that the new ACUs used buttons on their uniforms, sewed their patches on instead of using velcro and making sure that they were tailored so that they don't look like they were cut out like its a box. Like her gear had when she served in her first life before she went private. Sure, she would have preferred they stuck to M81 woodland with the old school BDUs, but that was unfortunately out of her control at the moment.

Essentially, doing the Lord's work and looking out for her Army brothers.

For now though, she was taking a break and having a movie marathon in her virtual bed with a bowl of popcorn in hand. With her first watching the trinity of Nicholas Cage 90s action movies. That being Con Air, The Rock, and Face Off. Once she finished them, she decided to watch her favorite werewolf movie of all time.

Dog Soldiers

"Get him, Spoon! Get him!" She cheered as she watched the absolute chad that was Spoon take on a werewolf in hand to hand combat. Only to spew a litany of hate when the second werewolf got him off guard. Despite already knowing what was going to happen, it still pained her to see her favorite character in the whole film get brutally killed like that.

"Ergh, coward." She growled.

Suddenly, she felt as if her face was being touched. However, it was a feeling she became all to familiar with with whenever a certain ten-year old brat was fiddling with her dial.

"Urgh, what's that idiot doing now?" She said to herself as she placed her bowl of digital popcorn on the side and hopped out of bed. Making her way to the material world.

Fizzling into existence in the kid's mind behind his back, she was greeted to the sight of a grocery store which she recalled looking eerily similar to how it looked in the episode when she saw it. With Ben in the cereal aisle as he dialed the omnitrix to settle over the Grey Matter symbol.

"You mind telling me what you're doing?" The AI said. Causing to Ben to jump in surprise as he turned around to face her.

"Geez, Omni! You should wear a bell or something." He spat out as he calmed his beating heart down.

"Still doesn't answer my question."

"Oh ha ha." He laughed sarcastically. "So look, in one of these boxes is the sumo slammers gold card. Something I wanted to get my hands on ever since it came out months ago. So, what I'm thinking is use you to search these boxes until I find it."

He gave her a hopeful look. "So, what do you say?"

"Yeah...no." She declined.

"What?!" Ben exclaimed. "Why?"

"Because we're in a grocery store." Omni deadpanned as she gestured with one arm at their surroundings. "You know, a place that's usually filled with people and has things like security cameras. The chances of someone seeing you are pretty high."

"Oh, come on." He retorted. "I already checked, there's no cameras in this aisle and no one's around. It won't take long."

"Sorry, kid." The watch shook her head. "The answer's no."

Ben growled in annoyance before suddenly slamming on the watch. Resulting in a feeling on Omni's face akin to something that has just been slapped.

"Ow!" She said as she shot him a glare. "Ben!"

Either not hearing or just ignoring her, he slammed down on the omnitrix again in an attempt to turn into his Galvan transformation.

"Alright, that tears it!" She snapped as she sent a shock through his arm in retaliation once tried to transform again. A shock that wasn't too hurtful, but still rather unpleasant.

"Ow!" Ben exclaimed as he shook his hand in minor pain.

Then began a slapstick fight with Ben slamming on the dial in an attempt to transform with Omni shocking in retaliation. Much to the confusion of Gwen when she walked to the aisle and found her cousin fighting with himself.

"Uh, Ben. What are you doing?" She asked him a raised eyebrow.

"Ah, just having a fight with omni." Was all he said as her virtual projection shot him a mean glare.

"Well, come on. Grandpa's waiting for us." She told as the two walked off to reunite with Max. Who too questioned where Ben was.

"Ben, now I can appreciate how much this card means to you." Max uttered when Ben explained the situation. "But don't you think you're getting a little... obsessed?"

"Maybe you're right, Grandpa." Ben said with an underlying tone of sarcasm. "I don't deserve a gold star card. I mean, it's not like a saved a bunch of people from a burning building or anything!"

"Yeah, thanks to me." Omni chimed in.

"Please, I did all the work." Ben argued.

"But without me, you wouldn't be able to do so in the first place!"

"What's she saying now?" Gwen asked.

"Nothing just a little argument is all." Ben answered.

Suddenly, he was smacked by his own left hand.

"Urgh, stop that!" He snapped in annoyance as Gwen began giggling to herself before she took a slap to the face.

"Ow!" Gwen rubbed her cheek. "Oh come on! What did I do!"

"Yeah, I have to go with Gwen here? What was that for?" Ben asked as he looked at the alien watch.

"Because you two annoy me. That's why." The AI shrugged because it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"She said it's because we annoy her." Ben to his cousin as the group began walking.

"Well, you tell her that-"

"Alright, that's enough, all of you." Max declared as they passed by another family of shoppers. After a few more minutes of walking, Ben spotted something that caught his eye which made him broke off from his cousin and Grandfather.

"Woah," He whispered in childish wonder. "A sumo slammers complete set." With him being so distracted as he didn't even noticed them heading to the pets section without him.

"Someday you'll be all mind." the boy muttered. However, the omnitrix was not focused on whatever he was thinking as she began counting down.

"Three...two...one..."

Suddenly, there was a loud rumbling sound as the wall behind Ben was broken through. Causing a cloud of smoke and screams from many shoppers in the market. With Ben taking cover behind a nearby counter as he coughed and waved away at the dust.

Once the cloud had dissipated, he widened his eyes as he was greeted to a sight of a man. Who was riding upon a humongous frog or toad. With many of the store's customers to scream in panic and begin running while others stood where they were. Their eyes glued to the frog as if they couldn't believe what they were seeing.

However, while others were experiencing fear and panic in their minds, a certain AI only felt exasperation and slight weariness as she immediately began computing a plan in her mind and sending out an alert to the local PD for the situation.

"This is going to be a long day."

Author's note: That's it for now. Hope you all enjoyed this update and I will see you all next time.

Also, would you guys be open for a second self-insert in this story? I got idea for one and I want to know your guys thoughts if I should add him, though I'm not going to spoil. So, what do you guys think, add a second SI or just stick to one for the story.

Also, this is a question for anyone familiar with U.S law. I know that the Posse Comitatus Act prohibits the U.S military from acting in a law enforcement capacity. But does it say anything about them being deployed to hunt for and combat extraterrestrials? I know this may be a stupid question but considering that the U.S has a plan for dealing with a zombie apocalypse, I figure I may as well give it a shot.

Take care, lads. And always remember... stay frosty, gents.
